[@EricaBl]

I’m a CNA, and I love wounds. I enjoy watching dressing changes! I currently work as a Rehab Tech in Burns & I love it. #Prenursingstudent #FutureRN

[@fromcnatonp]

Thats awesome! Burn unit scared me as a student I went there to shadow for a day and I couldn't get the smell of burnt flesh from my nose and memory! Good luck on your RN journey

[@andreawill154]

Im starting a new job as an wound care NP, i have about 15years experience in wound care and are very excited about it. It has been my 1st love as a nurse❤

[@monicayoung1468]

I just love wound care!

[@PAstudent2016]

Hello there, I’m a former Derm PA transitioning into a PT role with a mobile wound care company working 2 days a week! I’m happy to stumble across your channel as I am seeking a general idea of what to expect in this role over the long haul. I’m also looking forward to working outside the traditional clinic setting.

[@Dreamplanbudgets]

I love this topic. I’ve worked in Home Care and I love working with wounds.

[@fromcnatonp]

Wonderful! thanks for watching

[@fromcnatonp]

Hello guys thanks for watching! I do have a correction about ABWM the certification of certified wound specialist physician is only for MD/DO the others under ABWM you can also be a LPN, RN, NP/PA etc. You will choose the exam/certification that alines with whatever degree you hold. I hope this is not confusing you. Let me know what questions you have down below.

[@hootie017]

Love this! What resources did you use to learn initially (other than experience) and what resources do you use to stay up to date? (journals, etc.)

[@mivkayla]

Wow this is pretty cool. I am currently in nursing school and am very interested in wound care.

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks for watching! All the best to you

[@tristinjay8753]

Thank you so much for this! I am a CWON. I plan on going to get my FNP soon. I'm so excited!

[@fromcnatonp]

I happy it was helpful! Good luck on your NP journey

[@uceeyo5294]

U seem very passionate about the whole wound care thing. Cheers to a New series... #W.C.W. Love it!!!

[@fromcnatonp]

I am so surprise about me being passionate about wound care. Thanks for watching!

[@LovelyGlow01]

Hello! Thank you for this video. I am excited about Wound Care Wednesdays!! Could you talk about how you come up with treatment plans? What are some challenging wounds you see and what makes them challenging? Also, (not for a video but for my curiosity) the guy you mentioned that is awesome at treating wounds.... do you say that because his patient outcomes are great? Thank you again! Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@fromcnatonp]

Definitely will be going into those areas on other episodes. I like working with him because he has many years of experience as a wound care nurse and knows his stuff when it comes to wound has been so gracious to me and teaches me a lot !

[@Paula7379]

I think if I did become a NP specializing and only doing wound ostomy care would be the only are I would want to work in os that’s possible? As a nurse I just cannot get enough of coban dressings, wound vac, wound assessments and treatments, all the different types woundcare products and what they are all used for, the different dressings l, the different Npwt devices that can be used. To me it is really fun and rewarding to see difficult wounds heal. Are there NP home health?

[@LaGoneGirl]

Your channel is so very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@fromcnatonp]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching

[@alicecele8995]

Around Durban 🙏

[@moreblessingkunaka2262]

Thank you this was really informative. Please guide me, I am a RN specialized in OT but have just started loving wound management. Which online course do you recommend and which certifying board can I register with. Its unfortunate the internet is filled with scammers.

[@xolanimakonco384]

[@MelloneeKecia]

Great video as always

[@gracembakop2813]

Thank you for another video sis.... Hmmm i really don't see myself doing a certification in wounds care, however just like you we never know where life will take you, so i definitely keep an open mind to it 🙏

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks so much! yes we just never know where we will end up. I know I made all these plans and God said nope not so fast!

[@barbie6695]

You don’t need certification in most states, if not all. It’s a money grab.

[@niomivitalis4549]

Thank you for sharing. I'm from the Caribbean and I never heard about a wound care nurse. After watch your channel, I'm really interested in becoming a wound care nurse 😊 Can you talk about wound assessment, how to determine which ointments to apply on different wounds and natural remedies for wounds. eg. honey or papaya leaf

[@fromcnatonp]

You are so welcome! yes I will go into the different treatment we use. I do not know much about natural remedies so can't really share anything about that.

[@mj-vk4ds]

Do you have any links for the courses?

[@addie4love]

What online course do you recommend. I am interested and have being researching on which course to take.

[@norahowens4710]

I finally have decided to become a wound care & podiatry NP. Currently have bachelors. What is your advice for the transition?

[@mlv4479]

Hi. I'm looking into this also! My clinic doesn't have fnp wound nurses. Can you elaborate on what you do daily?

[@MB-qx9vn]

Hi Laurie! I’m very interested in becoming a wound care NP. I currently work in the OR as an RN at a hospital and have PV/OH and general sx experience. I’m not sure which specialty to go into (AGNP vs FNP vs. Surgical NP) I would love to work mostly in hospitals and clinics and be able to help with debridements in the OR. How did you know for sure that being a wound care NP was right for you? Shadowing? How did you get your foot in the door to say? Thank you!

[@fromcnatonp]

I actually did a video about what NP specialty is right for you, I will link it so you can have a better understanding on each. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzSpphnncyhgtk) As for wound care, I was never interesting in wound care I actually took this job and wound care was apart of the deal and I had to do it. Fast forward 2 yrs now I actually like doing it. I was not aware that there is a Surgical specialty for NP. I do know that if you want to work in the hospital you need to get AGACNP to have that acute care training so that you will be able to work for the hospital being in the OR and all. I did meet a PA who works at the hospital as part of the plastics team that do a lot of the debridements but he is a PA and they do get those training in PA school. I was trying to see if I would be qualify to work with them but I am FNP sadly. I hope this helps

[@MB-qx9vn]

Fromcnatonp Thank you for your response😊 Can’t wait to start applying once this COVID phase has passed.

[@SamanthaThomas-pc5gd]

@@MB-qx9vn Do wound care nurses get to be in the OR sometimes?

[@NeckGiraffe]

Honestly my dream career. In a 3 year BSN program rn at Cedarville University. And I want to take their MSN program and then specialize in wound care.

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks for watching! Congratulations on your RN program, I wish you all the best.

[@barbie6695]

I became wound care certified when I was an LPN.

[@almajaur.9686]

Do you recommend any particular online wound care training/learning?

[@JimmyClam-p7n]

👍🏽

[@sherrieberrie8122]

What is the name of academy/school u too online classes , may I ask? Edit: I keep seeing wound educators. Do u recommend them? Or is there a more reasonable one out there?

[@alicecele8995]

I'm an enrolled nurse I'm checking if I can go for training or is it possible in my category to receive a training institution

[@tonjabriggs8475]

do you have a CWOCN-AP certification?

[@emmat5691]

Hey Laurie, I know you’re a FNP but do u know any public/community health nurses? Or have u done that during your rn career at all? I don’t see much about PHN on KZbin :/ also paying for school or loan repayment options? If u had any advice

[@fromcnatonp]

I did have to do community health nursing as a BSN nursing student for a semester and I went to under served areas for children and so immunization and stuff but I don't know nay PHN. I did take loan for undergrad and for my grad program I did loan and out of pocket. If you become a NP and work in any under serviced area you can have loans forgiven but typically the pay would not be so great because the loans will be off set. Hope this helps

[@emmat5691]

Fromcnatonp this was very helpful! Thanks so much!!!

[@sweetcaramelsmile]

Why am I just see this video?? I thought I’d seen all your videos. 🤔 I’m an BSN, RN wound care nurse. Studying for certification and looking at NP school. Geez.😳

[@daniaharris7982]

🥰🥰🥰

[@pendoshume878]

Hay sis, I have a wound I need your help

[@daniaharris7982]

Can you do wound care as a cna?

[@vick8521]

No you’re not allowed to

[@rae7269]

Finding a np job is hard? Why should nurses become np? Whats the point? Why do most schools offer np programs?

[@stacynp90]

Think it depends on where you live. There are many openings where I live.

[@judyogwin426]

Hello, are there any wound care billing classes available?
